Ramadan Giving with CCMW
Ramadan is a month of reflection, compassion, and collective responsibility. For CCMW, it is a time to continue to respond directly to the urgent needs of Muslim women in our communities.
This Ramadan, all proceeds raised by CCMW will support the CCMW Emergency Bursary Fund for Muslim women in Canada facing any form of gender-based violence.
Throughout the month, funds will be raised through community partnerships - including our Ramadan date initiative as well as national fundraisers, events, and individual and organizational donations.

Ramadan FAQ
-
Ramadan is the holiest month in Islam, observed by Muslims worldwide as a time of fasting, prayer, self-reflection, and community service. During this month, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs as an act of spiritual discipline and devotion to God.
-
Ramadan is a time of spiritual renewal, self-discipline, and giving back to those in need. It encourages compassion, gratitude, and generosity, which are values deeply rooted in Islamic teachings.
One of the most important aspects of Ramadan is charity (Zakat & Sadaqah)—Muslims are encouraged to support vulnerable communities, ensuring that everyone can experience dignity and justice.
